Assign a port range to the Citrix ADC appliance

Sharing of the client IP address may create a conflict that makes network devices, such as routers, cache servers, origin servers, and other Citrix ADC appliances, unable to determine the appliance, and therefore the client, to which the response should be sent.

A method to solve this problem is to assign a source port range to the Citrix ADC appliance. This allotment enables network devices to unambiguously identify the Citrix ADC appliance that sent the request.

Assign a source port range to a Citrix ADC appliance by using the CLI

At the command prompt, type:

set ns param -crPortRange <startPortNumber-endPortNumber>

Assign a source port range to a Citrix ADC appliance by using the appliance GUI

In the navigation pane, click System, and then click Settings.

In the Settings group, click the Change global system settings link.

In the Cache Redirection Port Range group, specify the port range for the appliance by typing a port number for Start Port and a port number for End Port.

Click OK.
